Had a slightly stressful day today where I wasn't quite able to relax after work. So with tension building in my shoulders I have a slight headache working it's way up the right side of my head. It's not quite resting behind my right eye yet, and hopefully with some Excedrin and heatpacks on my shoulders, I'll be able to keep the headache at minimal levels. 

Brain: *comes up with new idea*
Me: Oh that's cool. We should write it---
Brain: RIGHT NOW!!
Me: Wha--Now?
Brain: YAH! SO WE CAN POST IT TOMORROW!
Me: ()_() POst...POST?! I can't write that fast!
Brain: *not listening* WRITE IT TO POST IT!!! COME ON HURRY UP!!! 
Me: But But
Brain: *chanting* Write write write!!

Ended up with a headache during the middle of the day as my hearing sensitives got dialed up a notch, mostly because I couldn't find a quiet place to relax anywhere in the house. 
Not with the roomies all home and doing cooking and laundry and other worky things...it just meant noise everywhere.
Thankfully after remembering to take some Excedrin I managed to get the headache behind my eye to go away. 
But it wasn't fun before that point. 

Woke up with a headache this morning.
Not quite sure why.
But the stubborn thing persisted throughout the day.
So either it's a nutritional headache of some sort...
or I just ended up sleeping tense.
With considering how busy and stressful work has been...tension wouldn't surprise me. 

Ended up waking up with a Major headache today which REFUSED to go away. 
I managed to make it less of a nuisance long enough for me to make it to church.
But before the sun had set I was left curled up in my room in the dark hoping for the thing to just go away if I rested long enough.
Such a pain. *exhales* 
Nothing I did helped it. At all. Probably because I'm stressing or something. *shakes head* 

I dropped to my knees, my breath catching my throat as I caught the faintest of red glows coming from underneath a large green leaf. 
With shaking hands I gently lifted up the leaf and laughed at the multi-colored glowing mushrooms sprawled out underneath. "Finally!" I said, grinning wide as I leaned in. It had taken far to long for me to track down these rare specimens. Now that I found them, I sure wasn't going to let them vanish again.

Hmm seems to be the week for headaches.
Probably holiday shopping stress is the main factor here.

Ended up with a major headache behind my right eye today while in the middle of the last of my Christmas shopping.
Which makes sense as I was foot sore, hadn't eaten or drunk much, and probably was tensing up from the stress of being around people and trying to find the last of the presents. 

I'm guessing that sleep (and probably taking out my contacts) will help get rid of the issue.
As heat and meds haven't really helped do more than take the edge off.

Woke up with a slight headache this morning.
Which isn't surprising considering I had difficulties falling asleep last night from my mind not wanting to be quiet.

So being tired with a slight ache?
Yah.
Wasn't surprised.

Ended up caving and bought myself a Dr. Pepper to help and took some Advil as well. 
It helped to get rid of the headache.
So yay!

Ended up with a slight headache throughout the day.

It started at work. The slightest tinge of one behind the right eye, due to tense muscles in the neck, but also wearing a new earpiece for our work radios....radios that have been on the fritz more than usual today. 
They were picking up a lot of interference. Crackling and Buzzing and Thumping. 

It was irritating. 
And was a problem that came and went as we tried to find out which radios were causing the issue. 

Thankfully some Excedrin helped to take the edge off of the headache so it never became a full blown issue. 

And it came back later in the evening...probably because I'd forgotten to eat. ^^;; lol. So I managed to make that one go away too. :D 

Me: So we need to edit this story so we can post the chapter!
Brain: *groans* But it's Ed-it-ting!! That's boooring and toooo much work!!!!
Me: But we need to post--
Brain: Look! *points* A Distraction!
Me: ….

Me: We should write a Christmas story!
Brain: Four Christmas Stories?!
Me: No! NO. Just one!
Brain: FOUR CHRISTMAS STORIES! WE CAN WRITE THEM ALL---
Me: We only have a week before Christmas we can't possibly--
Brain: CHRISTMAS STORIES!! FOUR CHRISTMAS STORIES!!
Me: *exhales*

Had a slight headache today at work....because my eyes were bugging me in that one contact was acting like it had something in it though I couldn't find any tears or such to cause irritation. And yah...it formed behind my left eye even though the left eye was the one being irritated. *exhales* Thankfully some Excedrin and a nap with a heatpack while I was on break helped to make it go away. :) 

She closed the door, biting back a sob as the tears fell onto her cheeks. She moved to the bed, collapsing face down on it, wrapping her arms around a pillow and hiding her face in it's white cover. "I can't do this." She whispers to the fabric. It was too hard to day. Too hard to be happy. Too hard to help others. She needed the help, but how could she ask? How could she demand such a thing. Demand a simple hug. A simple understanding that she just....wanted a moment of peace. To find happiness again. To not have to stress about others and be worried for them. Why couldn't....why couldn't life just go back to the old normal?

"It's like your capturing your mood in this." She whispered, gesturing to the picture I'd taken the night before of the sunset. "It's a clear night, the sun just an orange line on the horizon. It's calm. It's peaceful. It's just...relaxing. I think you're relaxed. And that makes me happy. Happy to see that you're relaxing."
I smile, silently nodding. I hadn't considered it like that before. But yah, it had been a moment of peace standing there on the deck trying to get the right picture at the right moment. It had been...rewarding. 

Inspiration from conversation. 

Brain: So tired.
Me: ….Yah.
Brain: We need to be less tired.
Me: ….Yah.
Brain:  How do we do the less tired?
Me: ….Sleep?
Brain: >:( But I want to write!!!
Me: ….but sleep? Tired.
Brain: *exhales*

They came they creep the sleep the need to sleep to creep to come. 

It's probably the lack of proper sleep, but I ended up with a slight headache after work today. It kinda just went away on it's own though...I think I got distracted from it and so it vanished. ^^;;

Brain: All the ideas!!
Me: -_-zzzzz
Brain: O.o *knocks gently* Hello? IDEAS!
Me: o_- tired. Go way.
Brain: BUT IDEAS!
Me: SLEEPY!!

I took a nap after work today because I've been rather exhausted....
And ended up waking up with a slight headache.
Which I halfway expected from how tired I was.
But at least it went away after I ate food and drank some liquids.
So yay.

Woke up with the headache still in place this morning. Though thankfully on the pain scale it was rather minor compared to the one I had yesterday.

So I took a couple of Excedrin and grabbed a Dr. Pepper for the caffeine and thankfully by the time my work shift ended my headache was gone! Woot! 

Now to keep it away. 

I ended up waking up with a major migraine this morning behind my left eye.

It wasn't really that surprising as I'd gone to bed rather exhausted last night from not being able to get in the type of nap I needed due to being social with others. 
And considering I worked a 10 hour shift yesterday....
On top of being sick.
On top of also dealing with peoples expectations and me feeling pressure to do/be things that I'm not normally....

It's not surprising that my muscles most likely tensed up during the night leaving me suffering this morning.

I did consider briefly, texting my managers and telling them I would be into work an hour later so I could sleep.

But no.
Stubborn me thought I would be fine once I got to work.

So I warmed up a heatpack, downed a couple of advil and went on my way.

….I ended up asking the manager if I could clock out like half an hour after showing up because I wasn't feeling good.
But I wasn't leaving.
No I'm stubborn like that.
I simply asked if I could clock out for like 30 minutes to an hour to go rest in the breakroom with my heatpack and just close my eyes to see if it helped. 

The manager gave the okay and I clocked out.
I ended up darting into the bathroom though because my stomach decided to be upset.

So that wasn't fun.
But resting in the breakroom was nice. I took some more meds and closed my eyes and it was...nice.

You know, until I tried to stand up....
And needed to dash to the bathroom again. *exhales*

But from experience, usually once my stomach finishes heaving, then I'm usually good to go and I recover more quickly.

I did feel better.
But the migraine didn't go away.
I ended up surviving off of sprite and crackers (that the managers had generously provided the day before) And once I had that settled....took more meds to try and get the  headache to go away.

It came and went through my shift.
Getting better.
Getting worse.

Thankfully I was off an hour earlier than normal.
So once I got home I was able to crash.

But the headache hasn't yet gone away. *exhales* 
It's still there.
lurking.
Even after the nap, the shower, the heatpacks, real food, liquids,  PastTense, and...who knows what else. I've tried a lot of things. 

I can only hope that some sleep tonight will help it be vanquished.
Because I don't want to have to deal with it in the morning. 

Brain: Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp. 

Me: ….

Me: Yah okay. 

I hung up the phone and immediately collapsed onto the nearest chair with a groan.
"Why did I do that?" I muttered. What sort of crazy person agreed to work a longer shift at their job? Especially for two extra hours? It was crazy. I was crazy.
"I should have said no." I sighed, pushing to my feet. Too late now. Hopefully I would survive the longer shift. Hopefully.

I had the briefest stirrings of a headache today while I was work.
It was after dealing with a guinea pig, and taking animals to the vet, and customers and....
I took an Excedrin to knock the headache away from me and probably being distracted helping customers also helped to keep the headache from lingering. So yay. :D
